I have never used method 3.

Depends on the power of the other machine.


I tried to do a copy of a disk partition using sshfs (as root) recently, 
and found that many files were refused due to i/o errors. Seems I did 
not write down the errors.

rsync against the rsync daemon in the other machine worked happily 
without errors.
